PULLMAN – Washington State receiver Vince Mayle was named Second Team All-Pac-12, the conference announced Tuesday. Mayle tied for the national lead with 106 receptions and set the WSU single-season record with 1,483 receiving yards.

The redshirt senior led the Pac-12 with six 100-yard receiving games and was the only college football player this season with two games of more than 250 receiving yards. He was also a semifinalist for the Biletnikoff Award, which is given to the nation’s top receiver.

Quarterback Connor Halliday was named All-Pac-12 honorable mention after leading the country in passing yards per game with 430.3 and throwing for the second-most yards in the Pac-12 with 3,873. Despite missing more than three games due to a season-ending injury the redshirt senior finishes the season as the nation’s No. 4 overall passer.

Also named honorable mention All-Pac-12 from WSU were linebacker Jeremiah Allison, cornerback Daquawn Brown and left tackle Joe Dahl. Dahl allowed just one sack despite WSU’s Pac-12 record 771 pass attempts.

Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota was named the conference’s Offensive Player of the Year and made the conference’s first team for the third consecutive year, as did teammates Hroniss Grasu and Ifo Ekpre-Olomu.

Arizona linebacker Scooby Wright III was named the Pac-12’s Pat Tillman Defensive Player of the Year and Wildcats coach Rich Rodriguez was named Pac-12 Coach of the Year after guiding his team to the Pac-12 South division crown and a spot in Friday’s conference championship game vs. Oregon.
